yippee...just lined up 2 more job references, so I've got the 3 I need
now I can complete my applications and get them out tonight, and hopefully get interviews, etc. befire I get fired. I put on them that I've never been fired...I'd hate them to verify my employment there only to have just been fired....
Newsflash, DUmmies:
If you're good, you don't need references. If you suck, no number of references will help.
And if you're REALLY good, they come calling you. You don't need to call them. Such was the case with my latest job search. I put out that I was interested to the folks to whom I networked for the past several years, and I had people calling me within days. An interview by the end of that week. A job offer two days after that.
And I know they never called anyone who I mentioned during my interviews. You know why? Because they already knew my work.
